Perlexia: Post-Impulso

LIMINAL

Liminal explores the everyday sensation of being in-between, offering a moment to consciously experience what we usually pass through unconsciously. Set in the flow of a metro station, the film reflects on transition, estrangement, and fleeting pauses in motion. As a fashion film, Liminal treats clothing as lived self-presentation in transit, where silhouette, posture, and shifting light shape how a body is read within public space.

Say what you will, say what you may.” The sound of a distant whistle and theorbo calls a sleeping singer through the empty streets of Stuttgart in a midnight journey to the opera house. ‘dei notturni splendori’ is an experimental opera film made for the Staatsoper Stuttgart in the early months of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown. Anderson Matthew captures the singer Helene Schneiderman through a midnight dream with a hand-cranked kino camera in an ecstatic 35mm photo roman, in search for her own performance of the Tarquinio Merula madrigal Folle é ben chi se crede from 1638.
